After suffering mightily with this cold yesterday, I woke up today to some sniffles but to a spate of good news. I managed to track down one of my oldest and dearest friends last night and emailed her--and received a reply this morning. I cannot stress how good it is to be I touch with her again. We were teenagers together and I think about her often. Our bond is a special one and I am over the moon to know that I can talk to her and see her again.
Second, my book's editor and the series editor approved my response to the readers' reports. I have to do minor revisions and the book will be published within the year! Obviously I'm thrilled.
Finally! I just ordered my number one covet for the year, the navy Tocca Diamond coat. It was reduced but still pricey but worth it as itis gorgeous and will keep my favourite Lyell Girlie coat in circulation for a few more years.
I hope the rest of the day goes as well.

that's great about your book, moya!
i wish i had gone to the tocca store to check out the fit on the coats. did you stay true to size on the diamond coat? i'm intrigued by the hooded parka, which has a nice easy shape.
also, do you think they're particularly warm?
congratulations, moya!! that's so thrilling.
Thanks Joyce and Erica.
Erica--the coats are warm and both run the same as other Lyell coats (i.e a size smaller than other brands). The 10 fits me with a good amount of room. The hooded parka is the warmest coat but the one I got is probably next. I put the size 8 parka on hold for you in case you wanted to call them. You can also get the same discount and free shipping from their website. Hope this helps.
moya, did you get the size 10 in the diamond coat? i'm sorely tempted -- it looks so soft and warm!
I did. They have the 8 left--it is so warm.
I ordered the coat in size 8... I really did need a warm coat that wasn't a puffer or a parka. Hopefully this one works. Thanks for the sizing advice, Moya.
It's a really nice coat--I think you'll like it. I also picked up an acorn blouse with puffed sleeves.
Feel better! And so excited about the coat. I know that you have been waiting for it to be reduced :)
Congratulations!! So thrilled to hear about your book and re-connecting with friends. Sending positive vibes your way. :)
thanks for the info and putting the coat on hold for me, that was very sweet of you! it looks like there are 8s online, . good to know about sizing, i was thinking the 8 might be too big, but it sounds about right. decisions decisions...first real snow of the season today!
Congratulations on the book! I'm so happy for you! What a wonderful start to the year.
ps-happy belated new year!
